I also thought he was some tycoon based out of Milan/Canada only over for a quick trip to see mum. What's he doing driving a knackered old British registered Jag. It's not as if he's over here regularly, he's not been to Corrie for 20 yrs.

The way he was acting I wanted Kev to wrap the wrench round his silly slaphead. Not a likeable character at all.

Will Summer ever do anything normal or go out with a normal lad? What's that bruise all about, is he self harming?

On the last shot of him last night sat in the police station waiting to press charges against Kev I suddenly thought "he's the new street baddie" .We haven't had one since Geoff and are long overdue. My guess is he's not the tycoon he portrays, has gone bust and is back for Audrey's dosh.

He's a wrongun mark my words.

Clearly in Friday's episode Sir Lawrence Olivier Jack couldn't do the emotion in his farewell letter so Abie had to read it!!
I'll give him this though, he walks well for a guy with a prosthetic leg!!

Kevin flipped his do-dah there tonight for sure. All resolved by Monday next week. Usual impressive corrie police response of sub 2 minutes to get on scene. Thankfully a new copper for once.
Started to watch this last night on catchup but had to switch off after a few minutes due to the camera bouncing all over the place from character to character…. Does it continue throughout the episode and later episodes too or does some normality return?

Yes, it goes back to normal.

Why have ordinary working folks in Weatherfield all got a full dinner suit?

Bistro robbery is laughable. Ryan didn't even wear gloves! Leanne didn't even question where all the cash came from and she's a business partner.

Interesting piece in Sunday Times Business section about soaps, East Enders especially , all triggered by the Neighbours finale. Apparently , EE is in dire trouble , with falling viewers and awful , sensationalist plots coming and going almost weekly . Sound familiar ? What its viewers say they want is a return to slow burn, plausible and nuanced plots and an emphasis on characterisation. So say all of us - I don't watch any other soap . apart from a brief fling with Brookside , but although the Street is doing better than some , it is wasting a largely wonderful ensemble cast , OK not Jack , with absurd emergency services interventions every episode, murders, heists, tram crashes , fires and sinkholes .

All I want is 30 minutes of Dev, Steve and Tim talking nonsense and Roy being Roy, Mary being Mary and maybe Kelly and Amy having a spat . No guns, no police, no here today and gone tomorrow plotting - but instead strong characters given strong scripts .

Agree with above mentioned. It turns into Hollyoaks.

I'm on the Corrie fb page and I would say 99% don't like Stephen, (Audrey's son), his accent grates and they don't like the character.

Strange that Abi and Tim in real life are married, but in the show they hardly ever talk to each other or interact.

Is Corry the first soap to feature pron and w*****g? The discussion about it between Sally and Tim was quite amusing.

Although when Sally declined to go to the casino with Tim, the writers missed an opportunity for a line when Tim asked her 'aren't you coming?'

Totally agree! I can miss Corrie for weeks at a time and then still tune in to another stupid plot having missed half a dozen other ridiculous stories. Also agree about Stephen. What a waste of space and that accent ...... AAAAGH
